Our Te Papa Trip was packed full of learning! We already knew about lots of it from our inquiries over the past year.
 |
| Learning more about the waharoa (gateway) that greets manuhiri (visitors) to Te Papa. |
We learnt how to be good users of the museum - how to move around safely and what questions to ask - 1. What is it?, 2. What is it made from?, 3. What is its story?
 |
| Learning about the backstory of this cannon, originally from Captain Cook's Endeavour. |
 |
| Giant versions of the Te Reo Māori and English versions of the Treaty surrounded us while we learnt more about it. |
We heard more about the Treaty of Waitangi, and did an activity in which we looked at it from the perspective of four groups - The Crown, Tangata Whenua, Christian Missionaries and the Sealers & Whalers.
 |
| We are marking out the three points of the Polynesian Triangle. |
 |
| We watched another version of Tupaia's story and had a chance to share what we already knew. |
We shared our knowledge of Polynesian Navigation, Cook & Tupaia and the wharenui Te Hau ki Tūranga with Laura. She showed us some more artefacts, videos and stories.
A great day for consolidating our rich Inquiry learning, connecting with others and getting out and about! Ngā mihi nui ki a kaimahi o Te Papa Tongarewa - A huge thank you to the staff at Museum of New Zealand.
